Chapter 60: Your Life I’d Be After
Break her leg?
Ha!
Well, she would have to see if they have what it takes.
Shen Xi had just left.
Appearing out of thin air like a phantom, Xuan Yuan looked at the people lying on the ground with gusto and curled his lips in pleasure.
This young lady.
She sure was a wild one!
Boss appointed him to be her security escort but it seemed Shen Xi needed no help in that department.
“Xixi, where have you been?” Song Wenye finally found her after searching around all day. She dragged Shen Xi to bolt towards the grand hall. “The ceremonial rite is about to begin. Come on, hurry up.”
With music blasting during the temple’s ceremonial rite, no one heard Su Mushi’s blood-curdling screams in the backyard.
After observing the entire ritual, Shen Xi managed to get three amulets consecrated by the Buddhist priest, Master Hui Lun, thanks to Song Wenye’s nana.
“Get the amulets for your parents and yourself.” Song Wenye knew it. Shen Xi may say she was an atheist, but she would still put trust in faith once she arrived in the special environment that was a temple.
Although some things were not for certain, things existed if one believed and vice versa.
Taking herself as an example, Song Wenye never believed in religion and whatnot but when her nana came last year to pray for blessings, the Buddhist priest mentioned that she would face a catastrophe.
Nana received a Maitreya statue from the temple and told Song Wenye to keep it with her always.
She went traveling on her own during the labor day holidays and met with a car accident. The girl who was sitting beside her passed away on the scene.
Song Wenye, on the other hand, only sustained injury to her leg. She was without a head concussion and everyone said that it was a miracle.
Only she knew that the Maitreya she was wearing broke into half.
“Uh huh.” Shen Xi was without a word more.
Out of the three amulets, two were for her parents and one was for the big boss next door.
As for herself, Shen Xi had really forgotten about herself while she was praying.
…
In a matter of a week, the snow had melted and the weather welcomed an even colder temperature.
The sunlight during the evening ditched a few shades of cool tone and hitched on shades of red-orange, giving an illusion of warmth.
Holding a book on English, Shen Xi sat on the ladder and practiced her speech aloud.
With the big boss still absent from home, she wanted to wait for the big boss’ return to gift him the amulet.
The plum blossoms in the big boss’ yard were budding, letting out a crisp and refreshing scent of plums.
Li Yuan’s car had just turned the corner when he caught a glimpse of the young lady on the ladder.
The young lady had a blue down jacket today, coupled with a matching hat that really covered her up.
With earphones on, the girl held a book as she focused on learning.
The North wind was a little strong and after the snow melted in the past two days, temperatures had dropped to minus ten degrees.
“Pick up the speed.” Li Yuan informed the driver.
At a closer distance, he was heartbroken to see the young lady’s frozen flushed face and stiff fingers while flipping pages.
Kun Lun stepped on the pedal and observed the man in the backseat through the rear-view mirror. He wondered when Boss had begun to glance at the direction of the wall every time they turned the corner.
Boss was happy when the young girl was around.
He was clearly sad when she was not around.
“What are you doing waiting here in such cold weather?” Li Yuan gazed at the girl on the wall and remarked with a stern voice. “What if I don’t come home?”
